Sapillo Creek Escape is a truly unique gem in the Gila Wilderness. It sits at 6,000 feet above sea level, was custom designed and built by the creator of the Bear Creek Motel and Lodge in Piños Altos, and took 7 years to construct. Everything from the saltillo tiles to the wood latilla ceilings are custom built and exquisitely hand-laid. With over 3,000 square feet in the home at your disposal, this place is made for just you, or you and your family and friends, to enjoy the Gila Wilderness, Silver City, and Grant County. Fishing, birding, biking, hiking, horseback riding and more await you in the Gila, with dining, arts, culture and more in Silver City. The Casita at Sapillo Creek Escape sits on 20 acres, so camping is welcome. Pets are permitted with prior review and approval. All pets must be friendly and get along with other pets, and must be fully vaccinated (proof of vaccinations is required, especially rabies, parvo virus and kennel cough). We purchased Sapillo Creek Escape in early 2019. We are thrilled and honored to own it, and be the caretakers of this gem, which was so dear to the owner’s heart. Welcome to our home! Tommy & JenniferSurrounded by the Mogollon Mountains, this glamping casita provides you modern amenities such as a queen bed, stove top, mini fridge, crock pot, dresser, wardrobe and a table and four chairs. There is covered parking for your car right next to the casita and we have a pop up tent that can be used. The tent can be used for outdoor showers as we have a 5 gallon solar heated shower. We have an outhouse about 40 feet from the casita and you can find the lit-path at night to direct you to it. After going #2 in the outhouse, please pour one scoop of lime or sawdust down the hole to help decomposition and prevent odors and bugs. The bed sleeps two comfortably. If you bring cots, you can host two more people or kids at the casita. It will be tight but it can work! There is potable water from our well that is accessible right outside the casita. There is a space heater inside the casita to keep you warm during the colder season. Once you step out, you will smell Pinon Pine and be footsteps away from Sapillo Creek, a hike or short drive (4 min) to Lake Roberts, and the Gila National Forest. Some of the mesas of the Mogollon Mountains still boast pottery and artifacts that date back to the Mogollon Indian civilizations hundreds of years ago. This is a leave no trace casita, so please take out all of the trash that you make on the property. The Mimbres dump is open on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays but if you do go out to Deming or Silver City, their dumps are open daily. Pets are welcome - 1 or 2 dogs, vaccinated and socialized. No smoking. Please bring your own toilet paper.

Glamping Casita in the Gila

Nice casita, but some problems

Cozy casita with plenty of space and comfy bed. Some folks may find the tiny pit toilet privy to be challenging. And be sure to double-check that you’ve received the correct code to unlock the key box. I was given the wrong code, and since there is no wireless service of any kind at the site, I had to drive back 25 minutes towards Silver City just so I could reach the host and get the correct code.

Glamping Casita in the Gila

The Glamping Casita is exactly as described and pictured. The directions to the property were perfect and very much needed as Google maps truly could not have gotten me there. Jennifer was incredibly helpful and the hiking recs (provided on a very helpful printed document when I got there) were awesome. The cooking equipment was also perfect and necessary as this is a remote spot. I had a wonderful time and got tons of writing, reading, thinking, and resting done...exactly as I'd hoped!

Campsites at Sapillo Creek Escape

Ms. Jennifer was up the drive and was gracious enough to guide us in :) She is super nice and accomadating. She made us feel welcomed and not isolated - even though we were the only ones. The host also named Ms. Jennifer was super nice and very attentive! The site was enjoyable as well as the sound of the running creek:)

Glamping Casita in the Gila

The Casita was a great place to stay for a few nights! Jennifer is extremely helpful, and is on thr property if you need anything. The Casita is thoughtfully decorated and stocked with everything you need. She had the heater going for me when I got there so it was comfortable. The bed was very comfortable as well. Beautiful property with plenty to see. Drove around and did some hikes and site seeing near by. I did have some service out there. Portapotty was clean, a little out of my comfort zone, but what was advertiser. Pet friendly, my pup loved the property and Jennifer was a great host for him too! She warned me to watch for javelinas, as they have been known to attack dogs.
